Wikipedian writes "BusinessWeek asks are we headed for a Wiki World?. With US-based SocialText using their wiki to leverage just $600K in capital, and European competitor Team Notepad, not to mention freeware alternatives like TWiki and MoinMoin is the whole world going to be using wikis instead of the proprietary dinosaurs like Lotus Notes?"

    When I asked, the mediawiki devs told me that Mediawiki 1.4 should be out and installed on Wikipedia by the end of the year. It should be faster, include fast rollbacks of page moves, and in general will have lots more goodies. If you want, you can ask them yourself on freenode at #mediawiki.
